Generatorand| Motorglesting) TOGETHER WE POWER The WORLD® ADEM Ragas Complete Diagnostic Solutions — That’s the Doble Difference ‘An Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Diagnostics survey trom Doble is an on: ling, non-invasive test that can detect a wide varity of defects in generators, motors and associated electrical system components, ‘Tending data is not required and maintenance recommendations can be provided on the very fist test. EMI data collection folows the Intornational standard CISPR 16. The test equipment is very sensitive and measurement accuracy is traceable to national standards. Electric generators are usually reliable pisces (of equipment, however, a large portion of the ‘existing ganorating fleet is approaching or has ‘exceeded their design ie. EMI Diagnostics, hhas been successfully performed on electric power systems since 1960. thas been [proven with over 8,000 successful fd tests ‘on more than 500 different designs with over 70 types of defects and conditions identified, catalogued and veriiod, Electromagnetic interference is the precise frequency domain measurement and Identifcation of racbo frequency eneray that results from electrical partial discharge and arcing at defects. EMI data is collected from the temporary placement ofa single spit core radio frequency current transformer around the power condut, safety ground or neutral lead of the component being tested. No hhot connection is required to any energized ‘conductor, and no harcware installation ‘modifications are required, ‘The acquired radio frequency spectrum, or EMI signature, is unique for each physical focation and detect present within the electrical system.

Identifying the 80% is extremely important since it releases ‘maintenance resources to the 5% that require immecate attention. Aditional inspections or tests can be scheduled to ‘confirm the existence of these conditions ‘and condition based maintenance can be scheduied before a fare occurs Doble is I$0 Certified Doble is an ESCO Technologies Company MICTSL_Doble-GAM Testing 01/11
